Murray Region Continues to Smash Tourism Records
More people are visiting the Murray Region than ever before with 6.1 million visitors (up 7.5%) spending a total of $1.8 billion (up 15.7%) in the year to September 2018. These record-breaking results were released recently by Tourism Research Australia.
Murray Regional Tourism Board Chair Wendy Greiner hailed the record-breaking visitor data as the result of hard-work and a strong collaborative approach across the region:
“The beauty of the Murray region – which stretches across 13 local government areas and almost 1700km of river from Albury-Wodonga to Mildura-Wentworth – is that despite the distances involved, many, many people are working together to both attract visitors to the region and to ensure they have a great time when they do visit.”
